I felt like I fell through a time-warp when I saw this awesome blast from the past. The original BigTrak was an incredible toy that was ahead of its time. Now, the BigTrak Jr Programmable Rover takes all that 1979 goodness and makes it even better.
Just like its older big brother, the BigTrak Jr can be programmed with a sequence of commands that will control movement and the firing of the photon cannon, but the more modern and hip version also comes with a memory save function that keeps you from having to punch in the same commands over and over. An active accessory port is also included for the coming soon extra goodies. Need something for the BigTrak Jr to crawl over? No problem, because you also get some awesome moon-crater accessories that let you make your own obstacle course.
